Novel London - Double Book Launch at Waterstones, Tottenham Court Road
Event Information
Description
Novel London is returning to Waterstones, in Tottenham Court Road.
Using a slightly different format, we will be celebrating the launch of two books - one by Debbie Young and Jill Marsh. Both are pro prolific writers and very knowledgeable in the field of writing and publishing. Come at join us to launch their novels and to network with readers, writers and publishing professionals.
DEBBIE YOUNG
DEBBIE YOUNG writes warm, witty, feelgood fiction inspired by life in the English village where she lives with her husband and daughter. The Sophie Sayers Village Mystery series is her first venture into writing novels, but she has previously published three themed collections of short stories, "Stocking Fillers", "Marry in Haste" and "Quick Change". She publishes a new collection every year. Her stories also feature in many anthologies and she has performed them at many spoken word events including the Cheltenham Literature Festival, the Evesham Festival of Words and Stroud Short Stories.
She is founder and director of the Hawkesbury Upton Literature Festival and reviews editor for Vine Leaves Literary Journal. She is a regular guest on BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Book Club and often appears on other regional and community radio stations. She is an ambassador for the British children's reading charity Read for Good and for the Type 1 diabetes research charity JDRF. For more information about her writing life, please see her author website: www.authordebbieyoung.com.
Debbie will be reading from her latest novel, Best Murder in Show.
JILL MARSH
Jill grew up in Wales, Africa and the Middle East, where her curiosity for culture took root and triggered an urge to write. After graduating in English Literature and Theatre Studies, she worked as an actor, teacher, writer, director, editor, journalist and cultural trainer all over Europe.
Now based in Switzerland, Jill is a founder member of the Triskele Books collective, co-curates litmag The Woolf and is a regular columnist for Words with JAM magazine. She lives with her husband and three dogs, and in an attic overlooking a cemetery, she writes.

OUR COMPERE for our double book launch is Rohan Quine.
Rohan is an author of literary fiction with a touch of magical realism and a dusting of horror, celebrating the beauty, darkness and mirth of this predicament called life, where we seem to have been dropped without sufficient consultation ahead of time.
His novel The Imagination Thief is published in paperback, and as an ebook including links to film/audio/photographic content: see www.rohanquine.com/press-media/the-imagination-thief-reviews-media for some nice reviews in The Guardian and elsewhere.
His four novellas – The Platinum Raven, The Host in the Attic, Apricot Eyes and Hallucination in Hong Kong – are published in paperback as The Platinum Raven and other novellas, and as four separate ebooks. See www.rohanquine.com/press-media/the-novellas-reviews-media for reviews of these four.
His upcoming novel will be The Beasts of Electra Drive, now barrelling down the pipeline.

Organiser Novel London
Organiser of Novel London - Double Book Launch at Waterstones, Tottenham Court Road
Novel London is a literary platform that has supported and showcased over 80 writers since 2015. It began as a literary night at The Big Green Bookshop and went on to being featured in Waterstones bookshops and iconic venues such as The Clock Tower in King's Cross.
Its first annual literary festival was held at Foyles Bookshop on Saturday 17th August 2019. All events and readings were filmed and put online.
This year's Novel London Literary Festival will take place on Saturday 26th September & Sunday 27th 2020. It includes a series of practical and inspirational workshops and seminars, focusing on developing writers in the present and the future.
The festival will culminate in an evening of readings where shortlisted writers have the chance to win cash prizes, a Faber Academy Manuscript Assessment, bespoke mentoring with Crime Writer, Nadine Matheson and a coaching session with Melanie Abrahams of Renaissance One.
